The central ritual of this apparently subversive cult was the consumption of what the cultists called the body and blood of their founder.
To a Roman, the ritual called to mind a stereotype about subversives that had been appearing since Cataline's conspiracy in 63 BCE, that members of a conspiracy against the state sealed their oaths by murdering or sacrificing someone (usually a child) and eating the entrails or drinking the blood (6-7).
Cohn thinks incest (condemned as unnatural sex between related adults rather than as abuse of children) was added to the Roman stereotype in 186 BCE, when the senate banned the Bacchanalia as a subversive threat.
